Application filed June 22,

T 0 all whomz't may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGH MILLER MATHIE- SON, a subject of the King ofthe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. and residing atGlasgow, Scotland, have invented a certain new and useful Improve mentin Score-Indicating Devices for Games, of which the following is a.specifi cation.

This invention relates to score indicating devices for games including afigured dial and slotted pointing means rotatably mounted on said dialadapted to be brought into register with figures printed thereon.

According to the invention the pointing means comprises arms ofresilient material pivotally attached to and embracing the dial theouter ends of the pointer being hingedly connected and presenting fingergrips associated with a spring compressible by hand and normally actingto maintain the inner surfaces of the arms in frictional engagement withthe dial.

In the accompanying}; drawing 1 plane of one form. Fig. 2 an elevationof Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a section on the line A A of Fig. 1 showing thefingers depressed. 4 is a plan of a second form and Fig. 5 a plan of athird form.

The score indicating device comprises a dial 1 whereon are rotatablymounted a pointer2 or as in Fig. 4 pointers 2, 2. Each pointer isprovided with a slot or slots (Fig. 5) ar ranged. opposite a row offigures (Figs. 1 to 4) or rows of figures (Fig. 5) and adapt ed toregister one at a time with a figure on the row or each row and eachpointer is 1922. Serial No. 570,134.

provided with means for clamping the pointer or pointers to the dial 1.

Each pointer comprises two arms or resilient material pivotally attachedat 3 to arranged in juxtaposed relationship the dial 1. The outer endsof the pointers are lIlIlfTGClly connected at 4 and are pro vided withfinger grips 5 associated with a spring 6 normally acting to maintainthe inner surfaces of the arms in Frictional cngagemcnt with the dial 1.The arrange ment is such that. when the finger grins 5 are depressed,the pointer may be nievcd over the dial until the slot or slots rec" orregister with the selected figure wl upon the finger grips are releasedand the pointer is held frictional]; in adjusted position.

I claim:-

A score indicating device comprising a figured dial, slotted pointingmeans otatably mounted on said dial, said pointing means comprisingresilient arms einbi.-cing said dial, said arms hingedly connected attheir outer ends and presenting finger grips and a spring compressibleby actuation oi the grips. said spring normally ac;- ing to maintain theinner faces of said arms in frictional engagement with said dial.

In testimon whereof I. have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of? two subscribing; witnesses.
